Caption reads: Larger, More Powerful - Capable of exerting 300 tons more pressure than the gargantuan "turret top" presses constructed for Fisher Body a year ago, this new industrial giant for the first time provides individual control over the massive slides, making it possible to draw and form sheet steel in much more intricate designed than ever before. Photo shows workmen removing the one-piece rear quarter panel of a trunk sedan from the 4 ½ story press, which is installed at the Pontiac, Mich., plant of General Motors' body building division.
